When I first started recording music at home. I was using a 4 track and headphones for mixing. Let me just start by saying, if you're using nothing but headphones for mixing, your music is going to suffer. I guarantee it.

This is how I got by at first: I had a great stereo in my truck. So, I would actually make a mixdown in my living room using headphones. Burn it to a disk. Go out to my truck, drive around the block and listen to my mix. Go back home and change what I thought needed changing.

So, when I went to build my home studio, I knew I was going to be using Pro Tools so I had to get something of quality for my studio monitors. I had set aside about $700 as a budget for my monitors. I spent a lot of time at Mars Music and Guitar Center listening to monitors in my price range. The conclusion I came up with was that the Event PS-6 monitors sounded miles above everything else. So I bought them.

I can directly attribute great sounding recordings to my Event monitors. Suddenly, I could tell exactly what things sounded like. They sound so clear, so pure, so accurate, so detailed...even some of my bad mixes were sounding good.

For once I was confident that what I heard is what I was really getting. No more wondering if I had too little or too much bass. Just knowing that what I heard was real.

These monitors are powered. I've even used them as PA speakers with my mixer at a gig. Not recommended, but it worked in a pinch.

The Project Studio line has been discontinued, but Event has several other studio monitors to choose from. I highly recommend them. It will help your overall sound. And just think, no more running out to the car to check your mix!
